LinkedIn 2019 Talent Trends: Soft Skills, Transparency and Trust<\/strong><\/a> — from linkedin.com by Josh Bersin<\/p>\n

Excerpts:<\/em><\/p>\n

This week LinkedIn released its\u00a02019 Global Talent Trends<\/a>\u00a0research, a study that summarizes job and hiring data across millions of people, and the results are quite interesting.\u00a0(5,165 talent and managers responded, a big sample.)<\/em><\/p>\n

In an era when automation, AI, and technology has become more pervasive, important (and frightening) than ever, the big issue companies face is about people: how we find and develop soft skills, how we create fairness and transparency, and how we make the workplace more flexible, humane, and honest.<\/strong><\/span>

\nThe most interesting part of this research is a simple fact: in today’s world of software engineering and ever-more technology, it’s soft skills that employers want. 91% of companies cited this as an issue and 80% of companies are struggling to find better soft skills in the market.<\/p>\n
